Hey i have a physical fitness test coming up in november and i was wondering if anyone had any good ideas for a cutting stack. I already know i can pass the test but id still like to be about 6-10 lbs leaner. I have searched the forums for a while now and it seems everyone has been suggesting DCP. The problem is that i cant find it. Heard there was a supply issue. I have taken LR alone before and i didnt get the desired results. i have also used yhombine caps and they had minnimal effect.

Stats

5'5 ~160lbs
w/o 4-5 days per week
run/jog 2-3
bf% ~ mid teens

What's your diet/training like?

Why the Jog/Run? what rating are going for?
 
My usual workouts consisit of an hr of lifting and 20-30 minutes of running. I try and keep the pace going during the lifting and rest as little as possible. I run and jog because that is one of the requirements that i will be tested on.
As for my diet i usually stay away from calorie counting. I try to keep my carbs below 125 for the day and to get most of them before 5pm.
 
dood what do u have to worry about. Navy PRT's are fukkin walk in the park. Want a challenge? Run the new CFT the Marine Corps is making us do. Thats a b!tch

i remember mine. army though. pushups, situps, two mile run. what a retarded unit i was in. we had tankers, JAG, supply, communiation, admin, and intel.

only two people had the PT badge for outstanding performance - both MI. two people had pushups over 100 in two minutes - both MI. thank god the tankers didn't have to do anything besides mash the pedal, or they'd be screwed...
 
Hello Omen,

Do not worry about this. If you want to improve your body. Then have to start with perfect diet and also lot's of water.

Oh im not worried i think the minimums are 1 1/2 mile run under 12 mins, 60 push ups in 2mins and 60 sit ups in 2mins. These are all cake but id still like to be 6-10 lbs leaner. i figure it wouldnt hurt to cut some fat especially with a set date in mind.
 
Navy PRT is a cake walk, I usually swim mine. I'd say train to max out your push/sit ups, and do some 400m-800m intervals. That will definately shed off a few lbs, if your diet is in check.
 
ya im doing the prereq. test for officers. Im not sure if its easier or harder compared to enlisted. From what i have been told it doesnt sound bad at all. Can you elect to swim instead? i get horrible shin splints from running everyday. One of my teachers is an ex- Navy seal so he has been telling me to more Calisthenics than actual weight lifting.
 
Not too sure about the O's but I have swam damn near every PRT for the past 5 years. I pass the run easily, but I don't enjoy the run, so I just swim swim swim.

As far as the calisthenics go, I agree with your teacher. While weight lifting has its place, for what you are about to go through I'd try to be able to max those scores.
 
Ya i figure droppin some blubber will at least make all that stuff easier. I think im just gona get some run of the mill cutter and see if it helps. Im trying to run 2 miles per day and i practice doing as many pushups as i can in 2mins everyday i go to the gym. Its actually harder than one would think my arms and shoulders get burnt out really quick. I usually get 35 my first set then it is all down hill from there. Do you know if you can rest durring the push up test? Or Do you have to hold the push up position? doin push ups as opposed to benching is completly different. ive got a lotta work to do

:head:
 
While doing the pushups you can only "rest" in the foward leaning rest position (the pushup position).

Ask your teacher if he has a "BUD/S Warning Order" laying around. I found it to be a great tool when I wanted to get my pushups up from 70's to the low 100's.

Anyways, this is from the BUD/S Warning Order...it will get you in great shape, btw how much time do you have before the test?

my officer recruiter is coming into town sometime in november. He said i could do the pt test then if i wanted to. That just involves the running, push ups, and the sit ups. Do you think i should add the routine you suggested to my normal routine? I was thinking about doing the pushups every day other than the days that i normally do chest. I usually get about 3-5 sets of 30 continuous perfect pushups and then do another 3-4 sets of 20 -25. I ordered some recreate gona see if that can help me cut some weight. I think if i cut 6-8 lbs i can get below the 12%bf mark. I also think the running is going to be the hardest for me...... my short legs hate carrying my fat a*s.:frustrate
